palmOne and Microwarehouse today launched two new products and a new marketing campaign during a press presentation at Shangri-la Makati. As expected, palmOne Sales Director for South Asia Peter Mah introduced the Tungsten T5 and the Wi-Fi SD card to the press. The T5 will be available in retail stores beginning tomorrow for P22,900 and the WiFi card for around P8,000 (it will be available in a few weeks).

The new marketing campaign is centered on the idea of mobility, symbolized by the word “go” (go connect, go smart, etc.).

Yes, we got our grubby little hands on a demo unit and spent some time playing around with it instead of listening to the presentation. Here a brief rundown of what we like and dislike about it:

Likes:

• Massive memory
• Fast processor
• Large and bright screen

Dislikes:

• Plastic body
• No voice recorder

The lack of Wi-Fi isn’t a deal breaker for me, but that’s just me. Watch for the full review in the November issue of m|ph.
